They will use the image as an input to a graphical AI engine and be able to manipulate it in innumerable ways. That actor would lose all rights to any derivative or hat started with his or her image. Of course the studios want to do that — if they could avoid paying actors — or writers or set designers etc — they would and will. Stand with the artists and workers.
